Will Sanders qualify as a Democrat in N.H.?

Bernie Sanders is filing Thursday to appear on New Hampshire's Democratic primary ballot. There's just one problem: he's an independent.

While Sanders caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate, he has been elected as an independent. He has also run on the ticket of other minor parties during his years running for office in Vermont.

In order to ensure that Sanders does not run into any trouble qualifying at the New Hampshire statehouse, New Hampshire Democratic chair Raymond Buckley will reportedly escort Sanders to his filing Thursday afternoon.
